Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this problem that you have reported with your eyes. It is true that cymbalta can cause severe eye problems. However, this is rare and only occurs in about 0.1% of all persons who ever take this medication. If your symptoms started after taking this medication, there is a possibility that this could be the cause elf your eye symptoms. In this case, I will recommend that you stop taking this medication and report to your doctor. He will review the treatment and make sure there is no other possible explanation for your symptoms. With the drug stopped, healing would slowly return if for real this was the cause of your she symptoms.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
